/PanARMENIAN.Net/ During their meeting in Vienna over the weekend,
European Union foreign ministers agreed to open the first round of
negotiations with Turkey on June 12 during the ministers’ meeting
in Luxembourg.

Diplomatic sources stated that the EU plans to open talks on the
science and research chapter during the Turkey-EU Partnership Council
meeting the same day in Luxembourg. Sources also underlined that the
decision taken by the 25-nation bloc’s foreign ministers is aimed at
strengthening reforms in Turkey, which will give a positive message
to those who object to Turkey’s EU bid. They underlined that although
Austria, which will hold the rotating EU term presidency until the
end of June, is unwilling to open talks with Turkey, it might welcome
the opening of talks on one chapter during its presidency to shake
the impression that Vienna is biased against Turkey, reports the New
Anatolian Agency.

“I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
